MuseKnowledge Application 8.6 Release

A new version of the MuseKnowledge Application is available which brings an important feature to help people with vision impairments: Text2Speech.
More exactly the results metadata can be read into natural-sounding speech. Controls to start reading a result metadata content were added to each result tile, at any time the reading can be stopped by pressing the pause icon.

By default the reading icon is not enabled, the user must enable it from the Search Options panel located below the search form, by setting to Yes the Show Speech Controls radio button.

Only a specific set of the results metadata fields is enabled for speech, depending on the content type of the result. For example for a book the following fields are read: the number of the result, its content type, the title, description/abstract, authors, ISBN identifiers.

New features and improvements:

Text2Speech functionality was added to help people with vision impairments. More exactly the results metadata can be read into natural-sounding speech. Controls to start reading a result metadata content were added to each result tile, at any time the reading can be stopped by pressing the pause icon.
By default the reading icon is not enabled, the user must enable it from the Search Options panel located below the search form, by setting to Yes the Show Speech Controls radio button. Only a specific set of the results metadata fields is enabled for speech, depending on the content type of the result. For example for a book the following fields are read: the number of the result, its content type, the title, description/abstract, authors, ISBN identifiers.
It is now possible to specify and load a default language, other than English, in the application's personalized logon page, when accessing for the first time.

Bug fixes:

When launching a new search, the previous content of the "Refine your Results" and "Related Queries" persisted until new content arrived. This is now fixed, when launching a new search the existing widgets content is emptied.
When launching a search from an external passThrough form, on 3G slow networks, some JavaScript libraries were not loaded in time, causing the application to not load correctly. This is now fixed.
